Seriously. Ok not every, but every image from a DSLR I take is too blue.

What am I missing here. The sand at Bournemouth beach is yellow. My FZ50 shot below is two clicks into the yellow on AUTO WB to compensate for its tendency to 'blue'. The sand colour is bang on in the FZ50 shot below. So look at the default out of box Canon 60D shot beneath it.

Why is this blue tint so common? I mean I've talked about it and had to correct it for years. Why is it still the default for a DSLR? (at least those of various brands I have encountered)
